Basic outlooks for life...

Along with basic energy in your life, you need a tangible skill set to tackle everyday life. Here's a few things that have affected my life.

Be true to yourself. Don't change who you are to fit the moment instead make the other people realize who you are. Your conscience is the only thing you need to answer to so stay loyal to that.

Be non-reactive. Don't rush to judgment when you don't know all the facts. Don't allow other people to affect your mood. If someone has the power to anger you, they own you. Happiness comes from within not from validation from other people.

Make the positive assumption. Too often people over-think a scenario when waiting. They assume all the negative things that could be going on. Being a positive person make the assumption that works the best for you. Instead of thinking they haven't call you because they hate you, think they haven't called because they like you so much that they are nervous.

Pick your battles. Life is not about confrontation rather bliss. You don't have to be right and it's ok to admit fault. Stand up for what you believe in, but having the other person agree with you is not a quest.

Don't judge other people. Everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time, just like you do. They have stresses and good days and bad days like the rest of us. They come from a different background and have had different experiences than you have. Different is not bad and you are not better than they are. More importantly, no one is better than you. The only person you are qualified to judge is yourself. The only person you need to compare yourself to is the person you were...

Life is a process so there's no need to put too much value on a specific portion of your life, rather on the whole. Life has ups and downs, don't get taken in too deeply during the downs and always stay grounded during the ups. Life is amazing and time doesn't wait for you. Try all the things you can and always remember to smile...
